WHAT EMTRIVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
EMTRIVA IS A TREATMENT FOR HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS
(HIV) infection in adults, children and
infants aged 4 months and over. Emtriva 200 mg hard capsules are
ONLY SUITABLE FOR PATIENTS WHO
WEIGH AT LEAST 33 KG.
Emtriva oral solution is available for people who have difficulty in
swallowing
Emtriva hard capsules.
EMTRIVA CONTAINS THE ACTIVE SUBSTANCE _EMTRICITABINE._
This active substance is an
_antiretroviral_
medicine which is used to treat HIV infection. Emtricitabine is a
_nucleoside reverse transcriptase _
_inhibitor_
(NRTI) which works by interfering with the normal working of an enzyme
(reverse
transcriptase) that is essential for the HIV virus to reproduce
itself. Emtriva may lower the amount of
HIV in the blood (viral load). It may also help to increase the number
of T cells called CD4 cells.
Emtriva should always be combined with other medicines to treat HIV
infection.
THIS MEDICINE IS NOT A CURE FOR HIV INFECTION.
While taking Emtriva you may still develop
infections or other illnesses associated with HIV infection.
